    Considering oil change

    Thanks for the replies. I went with the K&N because I did a lengthy research bid on BITOG when I first got the car, and the K&N appeared to be the best middle ground between filtration and flow. My primary concerns here are squeezing all the performance possible out of the slightly anemic Aveo...

    Considering oil change
